E-cigarettes used to be a boring alternative to smoking. The smoke puff could not compete with the conventional rolls, and the flavors were also limited and dull. However, the tech did not stop there.

Knowing the Potential

Today, electronic cigarettes have transformed into vaporizers, which are more well-known as vapes. And as the name suggests, vapes do not produce smoke through combustion but vaporization. It produces less harmful by-product chemicals, and several studies have even claimed that vaping is healthier than smoking conventional cigarettes.

Besides, vapes can produce a lot of smoke with varieties of flavors. There are even skilled performers who can play smoke tricks with the vape. They call themselves as cloud-chasers.
